ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:AUTONOMOUS/SELF DRIVING:SOFTWARE
On XXX, I was the sole passenger in a driverless Waymo (XXX) in [XXX]. Pickup: Chase Field ~4:14 PM. At ~4:25 PM on [XXX], a multi-lane urban arterial, the automated driving system decelerated the vehicle without cause to ~10 mph and held that speed in the number one (leftmost) lane. There was no obstacle, pedestrian, emergency vehicle, work zone, signal, or traffic condition to explain it. Traffic passed at normal speed in adjacent lanes. The system merged to the center lane, then returned to the number one lane, still at ~10 mph. The vehicle was a slow-moving obstruction in a live travel lane. There was no steering wheel, no pedal, no human driver. I could not accelerate, pull over, or exit the lane. My exposure to a rear-end collision was created solely by the ADS and could be ended only by the ADS, which was not ending it. I called Waymo rider support. The vehicle remained at ~10 mph. About 30 seconds in, a remote agent overrode the system and restored normal speed. Key finding: the malfunction did not self-correct. The vehicle did not detect the anomaly, resolve it, or degrade to a safe state. It operated hazardously until a remote human took control. The system’s own safety architecture did not catch it. A human did, only because I called. Waymo confirmed in writing that it verified the event as described, then declined to provide root cause, telemetry, or any investigative outcome absent legal process. I request NHTSA determine: (1) whether this was reported under the Standing General Order for ADS vehicles, or deemed below threshold and on what basis; (2) whether unexplained deceleration, sustained low-speed travel in live lanes, or failure-to-self-correct events have been reported for this fleet in the Phoenix ODD; (3) whether an ADS that cannot correct its own hazardous speed loss without remote human rescue meets any reasonable safety expectation for driverless operation on public arterials.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:AUTONOMOUS/SELF DRIVING
On [XXX] at approximately [XXX] pm, I was driving in the right-most lane on [XXX]. Traffic in my lane was stopped due to a red light. An autonomous Waymo vehicle was originally stopped at a yield sign on an intersecting side road behind my position. Instead of waiting for a legal gap in the traffic lane, the Waymo vehicle illegally entered the designated bicycle lane to bypass the stopped vehicles. When the traffic light turned green and my lane began to move, the Waymo vehicle abruptly merged into my lane directly from the bike lane (my right-side blind spot). It forced its way in front of my vehicle, requiring me to brake and use my horn to avoid a collision. The autonomous vehicle performed an unpredictable, illegal passing maneuver in a non-vehicle lane (bike lane) and merged from a blind spot, causing a near-miss with a human-driven vehicle that had the right-of-way. I have front and rear dashcam footage capturing the entire incident. Because the raw video files exceed standard upload limits, I have uploaded the unedited footage here for investigators to review and download: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:AUTONOMOUS/SELF DRIVING
At approximately [XXX] PT on Saturday, [XXX], my daughter and I were riding as passengers inside the car when the car itself couldn't make the traffic light in time before it turned red and got caught in the intersection of [XXX] and [XXX]. It started backing up into the oncoming traffic going across on [XXX] with the car itself backing up on [XXX], and kept on going backwards to the point that it fully blocked one out of the 2 lanes on [XXX] going towards downtown. This blatantly broke traffic laws, with cars going around us so it wouldn't hit us. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:AUTONOMOUS/SELF DRIVING:SOFTWARE
I was a passenger in a Waymo autonomous vehicle in Orlando, Florida, on June 19, 2026, when a potentially dangerous traffic situation occurred. The vehicle was traveling on a roadway with a speed limit of approximately 45 mph when it suddenly decelerated and continued driving at approximately 10 mph. Other vehicles on the road were traveling at normal traffic speeds, creating a significant speed differential. I was concerned that a vehicle approaching from behind could have rear-ended the Waymo vehicle due to the unexpected and substantial reduction in speed. The vehicle remained at approximately 10 mph for a period of time while surrounding traffic was moving significantly faster. There were no warning messages, alarms, or explanations provided to me before the deceleration. There was no collision, injury, or property damage, but I believe the situation created an unreasonable safety risk. I contacted Waymo support during the incident. I was informed that the vehicle had entered a "restricted zone," but I was not provided with a clear explanation of what that meant or why it required the vehicle to travel at approximately 10 mph on a roadway where traffic was moving much faster. No emergency services responded. There was no collision. However, I am reporting this incident because I believe the vehicle's behavior created a potential traffic hazard and should be reviewed from a safety perspective.

SAFETY INCIDENTS 1. Highway Limp Mode Failure — May 2026 & June 2026 While driving on the highway in summer conditions with my infant in the vehicle, the car has entered limp mode twice without warning, reducing speed to a maximum of 2mph. This left us stranded in live traffic lanes, creating immediate and serious danger to my child's life. 2. Severe Range Loss in Winter Storm — December 2025 While driving in an ice storm with my infant in the vehicle, I briefly stopped to purchase windshield de-icer. Upon restarting the vehicle, the car lost approximately 50 miles of range instantaneously, leaving us unable to safely reach home in life-threatening winter conditions.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:AUTONOMOUS/SELF DRIVING
At 11:45 AM, a Waymo AV stopped in the middle northbound lane at the Kierland Commons/Scottsdale Quarter signaled pedestrian crosswalk. The stop signal was not on. Pedestrians were standing on the sidewalk waiting for the signal to turn so they could cross Scottsdale Road. I assume the Waymo AV saw the pedestrians standing on the sidewalk and decided to stop. I was directly behind the Waymo AV. Traffic was passing us in both lanes. The Waymo AV remained stopped until the pedestrian signal came on and did not move forward until after the signal turned off. Fortunately, vehicles behind me were paying attention and did not rear-end anybody. The main issue involves a Waymo AV coming to a stop when it sees pedestrians waiting to cross the street, rather than paying attention to the pedestrian signal light, which is a blinking red light over each lane when triggered by a pedestrian that turns solid red, allowing pedestrians to cross the street. I have provided this information to Waymo LLC and they have responded that they are looking into why this Waymo AV stopped when it should not have stopped.

A waymo put pedestrian and public safety at risk on 5/12/26 at approximately 7:50 pm when it stopped halfway through an intersection at 14th, Market, and Church Street in San Francisco alongside a crosswalk. I began honking from my vehicle as the waymo stopped in front of lanes of oncoming traffic, blocking the intersection. Instead of continuing through the intersection, the waymo turned towards oncoming traffic and advanced forward into the crosswalk and into oncoming traffic that was stopped at the red light. As one of the vehicles it was advancing towards I laid on my horn to try to get it to stop, but it didn't and the car next to me had to back up away from it to avoid collision. The waymo stopped about 1 foot away from the car before reversing into the intersection again (see pictures) and then turning onto 14th andriving away. The waymo essentially used a very busy intersection and active crosswalk to execute a 3 point turn. Without human driver intervention a collision was likely with a vehicle or pedestrian.

During a heavy rain vehicle stalled out. Looked like it hit a bag of leaves at the drivers front wheel. Stuck in standing water blocking a lane. I was pulled over waiting out the rain and cars trying to get past the stalled Waymo were almost colliding with me and others. If a car can not function in heavy rain why are these on the roads.

We told a driver with Waymo months ago when he was mapping the pickup route for the Waymos NOT to have them come in our very busy driveway. He did not do as we requested and from that point on they have been coming into our driveway which is private property. If you could please advise them not to enter our driveway that would be great. I have witnessed them beep their horns repeatedly when there's traffic in the driveway which disturbs our guests and they've also backed out of the entrance of our driveway on several occasions which is very dangerous. They used to pickup on the street which was working out just fine before they started coming into our private property and we would like them to go back to picking them up there please! Thank you!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:AUTONOMOUS/SELF DRIVING
It almost drove into a semi truck with trailer making a turn. It then stopped despite multiple cars behind it and obviously having a green light. It was also near an intersection and if things were busy this might have caused an accident. It was the smart and calm defensive driving of multiple people and the truck driver that prevented an accident. It shouldn’t have to require that and my city streets shouldn’t be used as an experiment using vehicles that could be deadly. NHTSA should not wait for a great tragedy and loss of life to take action on these vehicles with nobody inside them. I have the video of it stopping for no reason but only after the incident began.

LANE DEPARTURE
How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? On multiple occasions, the vehicle crossed solid white lines during active traffic, made illegal turning maneuvers at intersections without yielding properly, and consistently camped in the passing lane at speeds below the flow of traffic. This forced other vehicles to pass on the right and created unpredictable merge scenarios that increased collision risk for surrounding drivers. Did emergency crews respond to the incident? No emergency crews responded to these specific violations, though they represent ongoing safety concerns during routine operation. Were there any warning lamps, messages, sounds, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning indicators were present. The vehicle operated normally from a system status perspective while committing the traffic violations. The illegal maneuvers occurred without any passenger notification or system alert. Was there a collision or impact with another vehicle, cyclist, pedestrian or stationary object? No collision occurred, but the illegal maneuvers created near-miss scenarios with other vehicles forced to react to unpredictable behavior. Was there a traffic violation? Yes. Multiple traffic violations including crossing solid white lines, illegal intersection maneuvers, and improper lane usage (camping in the passing lane).

I rode a Waymo for about 5 miles in Burlingame, CA today. On [XXX] near the intersection of [XXX] , at approximately [XXX] on [XXX], I witnessed a safety incident. The car was driving west on [XXX] . The road is one lane in each direction. The right-hand lane was closed for road work. As my car approached the lane closure, a road worker waved at my car to indicate it to stop. This was because only one lane was open to traffic and was being used for alternating two-way traffic. The car did not stop or even slow down much and shifted to the left (oncoming) lane and continued driving. Thankfully there were no cars coming in the opposite direction but this was a very unsafe maneuver. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
